    SCENARIO 2: CodeStream Innovations, a tech startup, is acquired by a larger competitor, MegaTech PLC. The business is transferred as a going concern. MegaTech immediately tells CodeStream's developers that their salaries will be cut by 15% to match MegaTech's pay scales.

    Instead of cutting pay, MegaTech decides to make three CodeStream developers redundant because of duplicated roles. Which TWO of the following factors are used to calculate statutory redundancy pay?

    Answer options:

    A.

    The employee's age.

    B.

    The employee's gender.

    C.

    The employee's length of continuous service.

    D.

    The financial profitability of MegaTech PLC.

    How to approach this question

    Identify the three statutory variables used in the redundancy pay formula.

    Full Answer

    Statutory redundancy pay is calculated using three factors: 1) The employee's age (which dictates whether they get 0.5, 1, or 1.5 weeks' pay for each year of service), 2) Length of continuous service (capped at 20 years), and 3) Weekly pay (subject to a statutory maximum cap).

    Common mistakes

    Thinking performance or company profitability affects the statutory minimum payout.
